Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers

To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port1 Clean the fiber ends as follows

1a Gently wipe the fiber end with a lint-free swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol

1b Use compressed air to dry completely

1c Visually inspect the fiber end to ensure its cleanliness

2 Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against other surfaces

If your connector features a key ensure that it is fully fitted into the portrsquos corresponding notch

3 Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place thus ensuring adequate contact

If your connector features a screwsleeve tighten the connector enough to firmly maintain the fiber in place Do not overtighten as this will damage the fiber and the port

Note If your fiber-optic cable is not properly aligned andor connected you will notice heavy loss and reflection

IMPORTANTTo ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings

Always clean fiber ends as explained below before inserting them into the port EXFO is not responsible for damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling

Ensure that your patchcord has appropriate connectors Joining mismatched connectors will damage the ferrules

4 Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600)

Nulling Electrical OffsetsTemperature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values

Note Factory-defined values will be reinstated when you turn off the unit

To perform an offset nullingHold down a few seconds The unit displays NULL while nulling the offsets then returns to normal mode

Note Keypad is disabled during the operation

IMPORTANTIf light reaches the detector when nulling offsets LIGH appears on the display and the nulling is not performed You will need to press a key to return to the previous display

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 15

Measuring Power or LossMeasuring absolute power or link loss is done the same way except for the referencing step

To perform power or loss measurements1 If necessary perform an offset nulling (see Nulling Electrical Offsets on page 10)

2 Check and clean your fibers appropriately for optimum performance (see Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers on page 9)

3 For loss measurements reference your power meter to a light source (see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13) then deactivate the light source

4 Using the proper adapter and test jumpers connect a fiber under test to a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600) and to the detector port of your unit

Note If you have referenced your power meter to a source simply connect a fiber under test to the test jumpers used for referencing

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 17

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

When a threshold is activated the PASSFAIL LED is turned on If it is green the threshold succeeded if the PASSFAIL LED is red the threshold failed

To set passfail thresholds1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PF menu

Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers

To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port1 Clean the fiber ends as follows

1a Gently wipe the fiber end with a lint-free swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol

1b Use compressed air to dry completely

1c Visually inspect the fiber end to ensure its cleanliness

2 Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against other surfaces

If your connector features a key ensure that it is fully fitted into the portrsquos corresponding notch

3 Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place thus ensuring adequate contact

If your connector features a screwsleeve tighten the connector enough to firmly maintain the fiber in place Do not overtighten as this will damage the fiber and the port

Note If your fiber-optic cable is not properly aligned andor connected you will notice heavy loss and reflection

IMPORTANTTo ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings

Always clean fiber ends as explained below before inserting them into the port EXFO is not responsible for damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling

Ensure that your patchcord has appropriate connectors Joining mismatched connectors will damage the ferrules

4 Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600)

Nulling Electrical OffsetsTemperature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values

Note Factory-defined values will be reinstated when you turn off the unit

To perform an offset nullingHold down a few seconds The unit displays NULL while nulling the offsets then returns to normal mode

Note Keypad is disabled during the operation

IMPORTANTIf light reaches the detector when nulling offsets LIGH appears on the display and the nulling is not performed You will need to press a key to return to the previous display

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

Recalibrating the UnitManufacturing and service center calibrations are based on the ISOIEC 17025 Standard which states that calibration documents must not contain a recommended calibration interval unless this has been previously agreed upon with the customer

Validity of specifications depends on operating conditions For example the calibration validity period can be longer or shorter depending on the intensity of use environmental conditions and unit maintenance You should determine the adequate calibration interval for your unit according to your accuracy requirements

Under normal use EXFO recommends calibrating your unit every three years

Note The FlexCare warranty program includes CalibrationVerification packages (see Service and Repairs on page 39)

To view the last calibration date (FOT-600 and FPM-600 only)1 From normal operating mode hold down and

for a few seconds The unit displays the first embedded software version

2 Press until you reach the calibration date (and version) of the power meter

3 Press to return to normal mode

Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers

To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port1 Clean the fiber ends as follows

1a Gently wipe the fiber end with a lint-free swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol

1b Use compressed air to dry completely

1c Visually inspect the fiber end to ensure its cleanliness

2 Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against other surfaces

If your connector features a key ensure that it is fully fitted into the portrsquos corresponding notch

3 Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place thus ensuring adequate contact

If your connector features a screwsleeve tighten the connector enough to firmly maintain the fiber in place Do not overtighten as this will damage the fiber and the port

Note If your fiber-optic cable is not properly aligned andor connected you will notice heavy loss and reflection

IMPORTANTTo ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings

Always clean fiber ends as explained below before inserting them into the port EXFO is not responsible for damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling

Ensure that your patchcord has appropriate connectors Joining mismatched connectors will damage the ferrules

4 Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600)

Nulling Electrical OffsetsTemperature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values

Note Factory-defined values will be reinstated when you turn off the unit

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers

To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port1 Clean the fiber ends as follows

1a Gently wipe the fiber end with a lint-free swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol

1b Use compressed air to dry completely

1c Visually inspect the fiber end to ensure its cleanliness

2 Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against other surfaces

If your connector features a key ensure that it is fully fitted into the portrsquos corresponding notch

3 Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place thus ensuring adequate contact

If your connector features a screwsleeve tighten the connector enough to firmly maintain the fiber in place Do not overtighten as this will damage the fiber and the port

Note If your fiber-optic cable is not properly aligned andor connected you will notice heavy loss and reflection

IMPORTANTTo ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings

Always clean fiber ends as explained below before inserting them into the port EXFO is not responsible for damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling

Ensure that your patchcord has appropriate connectors Joining mismatched connectors will damage the ferrules

4 Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600)

Nulling Electrical OffsetsTemperature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values

Note Factory-defined values will be reinstated when you turn off the unit

To perform an offset nullingHold down a few seconds The unit displays NULL while nulling the offsets then returns to normal mode

Note Keypad is disabled during the operation

IMPORTANTIf light reaches the detector when nulling offsets LIGH appears on the display and the nulling is not performed You will need to press a key to return to the previous display

FPMFLSFOT-600 10

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 11

Setting Power Correction FactorYou may apply a correction factor (CF) to measured power to compensate for inaccuracies or drifts You should change the CF after performing an offset nulling

For each favorite wavelength the CF is set to 100 at the factory (even if the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo) but allowed values range between 085 and 115

Note Some other products express the CF in dB so the CF would be added to measured power

To set a correction factor for one or more wavelengths1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the CF menu

3 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated correction factors If no correction factor is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

4 Press to activatedeactivate the displayed correction factor A ldquoCFrdquo indicator will appear next to measured power in normal mode

5 Edit the correction factor as follows

5a Hold down a few seconds The first digit of the CF blinks

5b Clear all digits by holding down for a few seconds

ANDOR

Select a digit to change by holding until it blinks then increase its value by pressing (it returns to 0 after 9)

5c While a digit blinks hold down for a few seconds to save the modified value (it remains in memory even when you turn off the unit) or press to return to the previous value without saving

6 Press twice to exit setup menus

Defining a List of Favorite WavelengthsYou must put the wavelengths you want to use on a list of favorite wavelengths (the FAV list) Only wavelengths on this list are available for measurements You may enter up to 40 favorite wavelengths

Specifications are guaranteed for calibrated wavelengths only For other wavelengths the unit will determine values based on the calibrated wavelengths (3-point interpolation)

To add wavelengths to the FAV list (or to remove them)1 From normal operating mode press repeatedly

until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the FAV menu

3 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside wavelengths already on the list If no wavelength is set for a position the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo You may also press to switch between defined wavelengths only

4 Press to includeexclude the displayed wavelength

5 Edit the wavelength value as follows

5a Hold down a few seconds The first digit of the wavelength blinks

5b Clear all digits by holding down for a few seconds

ANDOR

Select a digit to change by holding until it blinks then increase its value by pressing (it returns to 0 after 9)

5c While a digit blinks hold down for a few seconds to save the modified value (it remains in memory even when you turn off the unit) or press to return to the previous value without saving

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers

To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port1 Clean the fiber ends as follows

1a Gently wipe the fiber end with a lint-free swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol

1b Use compressed air to dry completely

1c Visually inspect the fiber end to ensure its cleanliness

2 Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against other surfaces

If your connector features a key ensure that it is fully fitted into the portrsquos corresponding notch

3 Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place thus ensuring adequate contact

If your connector features a screwsleeve tighten the connector enough to firmly maintain the fiber in place Do not overtighten as this will damage the fiber and the port

Note If your fiber-optic cable is not properly aligned andor connected you will notice heavy loss and reflection

IMPORTANTTo ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings

Always clean fiber ends as explained below before inserting them into the port EXFO is not responsible for damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling

Ensure that your patchcord has appropriate connectors Joining mismatched connectors will damage the ferrules

4 Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600)

Nulling Electrical OffsetsTemperature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values

Note Factory-defined values will be reinstated when you turn off the unit

To perform an offset nullingHold down a few seconds The unit displays NULL while nulling the offsets then returns to normal mode

Note Keypad is disabled during the operation

IMPORTANTIf light reaches the detector when nulling offsets LIGH appears on the display and the nulling is not performed You will need to press a key to return to the previous display

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 11

Setting Power Correction FactorYou may apply a correction factor (CF) to measured power to compensate for inaccuracies or drifts You should change the CF after performing an offset nulling

For each favorite wavelength the CF is set to 100 at the factory (even if the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo) but allowed values range between 085 and 115

Note Some other products express the CF in dB so the CF would be added to measured power

To set a correction factor for one or more wavelengths1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the CF menu

3 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated correction factors If no correction factor is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

4 Press to activatedeactivate the displayed correction factor A ldquoCFrdquo indicator will appear next to measured power in normal mode

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 15

Measuring Power or LossMeasuring absolute power or link loss is done the same way except for the referencing step

To perform power or loss measurements1 If necessary perform an offset nulling (see Nulling Electrical Offsets on page 10)

2 Check and clean your fibers appropriately for optimum performance (see Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers on page 9)

3 For loss measurements reference your power meter to a light source (see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13) then deactivate the light source

4 Using the proper adapter and test jumpers connect a fiber under test to a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600) and to the detector port of your unit

Note If you have referenced your power meter to a source simply connect a fiber under test to the test jumpers used for referencing

6 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

When the unit detects a modulated signal it beeps and displays the modulation value and average measured power or loss (see left illustration above) You may notice a slightly unstable last digit

7 If necessary change the displayed units by pressing

8 Repeat the procedure for other wavelengths

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 17

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers

To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port1 Clean the fiber ends as follows

1a Gently wipe the fiber end with a lint-free swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol

1b Use compressed air to dry completely

1c Visually inspect the fiber end to ensure its cleanliness

2 Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against other surfaces

If your connector features a key ensure that it is fully fitted into the portrsquos corresponding notch

3 Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place thus ensuring adequate contact

If your connector features a screwsleeve tighten the connector enough to firmly maintain the fiber in place Do not overtighten as this will damage the fiber and the port

Note If your fiber-optic cable is not properly aligned andor connected you will notice heavy loss and reflection

IMPORTANTTo ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings

Always clean fiber ends as explained below before inserting them into the port EXFO is not responsible for damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling

Ensure that your patchcord has appropriate connectors Joining mismatched connectors will damage the ferrules

4 Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600)

Nulling Electrical OffsetsTemperature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values

Note Factory-defined values will be reinstated when you turn off the unit

To perform an offset nullingHold down a few seconds The unit displays NULL while nulling the offsets then returns to normal mode

Note Keypad is disabled during the operation

IMPORTANTIf light reaches the detector when nulling offsets LIGH appears on the display and the nulling is not performed You will need to press a key to return to the previous display

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

When a threshold is activated the PASSFAIL LED is turned on If it is green the threshold succeeded if the PASSFAIL LED is red the threshold failed

To set passfail thresholds1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PF menu

3 Press to switch between power (dBm) and loss (dB) values

4 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated thresholds If no threshold is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers

To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port1 Clean the fiber ends as follows

1a Gently wipe the fiber end with a lint-free swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol

1b Use compressed air to dry completely

1c Visually inspect the fiber end to ensure its cleanliness

2 Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against other surfaces

If your connector features a key ensure that it is fully fitted into the portrsquos corresponding notch

3 Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place thus ensuring adequate contact

If your connector features a screwsleeve tighten the connector enough to firmly maintain the fiber in place Do not overtighten as this will damage the fiber and the port

Note If your fiber-optic cable is not properly aligned andor connected you will notice heavy loss and reflection

IMPORTANTTo ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings

Always clean fiber ends as explained below before inserting them into the port EXFO is not responsible for damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling

Ensure that your patchcord has appropriate connectors Joining mismatched connectors will damage the ferrules

4 Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600)

Nulling Electrical OffsetsTemperature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values

Note Factory-defined values will be reinstated when you turn off the unit

To perform an offset nullingHold down a few seconds The unit displays NULL while nulling the offsets then returns to normal mode

Note Keypad is disabled during the operation

IMPORTANTIf light reaches the detector when nulling offsets LIGH appears on the display and the nulling is not performed You will need to press a key to return to the previous display

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers

To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port1 Clean the fiber ends as follows

1a Gently wipe the fiber end with a lint-free swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol

1b Use compressed air to dry completely

1c Visually inspect the fiber end to ensure its cleanliness

2 Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against other surfaces

If your connector features a key ensure that it is fully fitted into the portrsquos corresponding notch

3 Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place thus ensuring adequate contact

If your connector features a screwsleeve tighten the connector enough to firmly maintain the fiber in place Do not overtighten as this will damage the fiber and the port

Note If your fiber-optic cable is not properly aligned andor connected you will notice heavy loss and reflection

IMPORTANTTo ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings

Always clean fiber ends as explained below before inserting them into the port EXFO is not responsible for damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling

Ensure that your patchcord has appropriate connectors Joining mismatched connectors will damage the ferrules

4 Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600)

Nulling Electrical OffsetsTemperature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values

Note Factory-defined values will be reinstated when you turn off the unit

To perform an offset nullingHold down a few seconds The unit displays NULL while nulling the offsets then returns to normal mode

Note Keypad is disabled during the operation

IMPORTANTIf light reaches the detector when nulling offsets LIGH appears on the display and the nulling is not performed You will need to press a key to return to the previous display

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 15

Measuring Power or LossMeasuring absolute power or link loss is done the same way except for the referencing step

To perform power or loss measurements1 If necessary perform an offset nulling (see Nulling Electrical Offsets on page 10)

2 Check and clean your fibers appropriately for optimum performance (see Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers on page 9)

3 For loss measurements reference your power meter to a light source (see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13) then deactivate the light source

4 Using the proper adapter and test jumpers connect a fiber under test to a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600) and to the detector port of your unit

Note If you have referenced your power meter to a source simply connect a fiber under test to the test jumpers used for referencing

6 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

When the unit detects a modulated signal it beeps and displays the modulation value and average measured power or loss (see left illustration above) You may notice a slightly unstable last digit

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

When a threshold is activated the PASSFAIL LED is turned on If it is green the threshold succeeded if the PASSFAIL LED is red the threshold failed

Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers

To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port1 Clean the fiber ends as follows

1a Gently wipe the fiber end with a lint-free swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol

1b Use compressed air to dry completely

1c Visually inspect the fiber end to ensure its cleanliness

2 Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against other surfaces

If your connector features a key ensure that it is fully fitted into the portrsquos corresponding notch

3 Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place thus ensuring adequate contact

If your connector features a screwsleeve tighten the connector enough to firmly maintain the fiber in place Do not overtighten as this will damage the fiber and the port

Note If your fiber-optic cable is not properly aligned andor connected you will notice heavy loss and reflection

IMPORTANTTo ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings

Always clean fiber ends as explained below before inserting them into the port EXFO is not responsible for damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling

Ensure that your patchcord has appropriate connectors Joining mismatched connectors will damage the ferrules

4 Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600)

Nulling Electrical OffsetsTemperature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values

Note Factory-defined values will be reinstated when you turn off the unit

To perform an offset nullingHold down a few seconds The unit displays NULL while nulling the offsets then returns to normal mode

Note Keypad is disabled during the operation

IMPORTANTIf light reaches the detector when nulling offsets LIGH appears on the display and the nulling is not performed You will need to press a key to return to the previous display

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers

To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port1 Clean the fiber ends as follows

1a Gently wipe the fiber end with a lint-free swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol

1b Use compressed air to dry completely

1c Visually inspect the fiber end to ensure its cleanliness

2 Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against other surfaces

If your connector features a key ensure that it is fully fitted into the portrsquos corresponding notch

3 Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place thus ensuring adequate contact

If your connector features a screwsleeve tighten the connector enough to firmly maintain the fiber in place Do not overtighten as this will damage the fiber and the port

Note If your fiber-optic cable is not properly aligned andor connected you will notice heavy loss and reflection

IMPORTANTTo ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings

Always clean fiber ends as explained below before inserting them into the port EXFO is not responsible for damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling

Ensure that your patchcord has appropriate connectors Joining mismatched connectors will damage the ferrules

4 Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600)

Nulling Electrical OffsetsTemperature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values

Note Factory-defined values will be reinstated when you turn off the unit

To perform an offset nullingHold down a few seconds The unit displays NULL while nulling the offsets then returns to normal mode

Note Keypad is disabled during the operation

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 15

Measuring Power or LossMeasuring absolute power or link loss is done the same way except for the referencing step

To perform power or loss measurements1 If necessary perform an offset nulling (see Nulling Electrical Offsets on page 10)

2 Check and clean your fibers appropriately for optimum performance (see Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers on page 9)

3 For loss measurements reference your power meter to a light source (see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13) then deactivate the light source

4 Using the proper adapter and test jumpers connect a fiber under test to a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600) and to the detector port of your unit

Note If you have referenced your power meter to a source simply connect a fiber under test to the test jumpers used for referencing

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers

To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port1 Clean the fiber ends as follows

1a Gently wipe the fiber end with a lint-free swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol

1b Use compressed air to dry completely

1c Visually inspect the fiber end to ensure its cleanliness

2 Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against other surfaces

If your connector features a key ensure that it is fully fitted into the portrsquos corresponding notch

3 Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place thus ensuring adequate contact

If your connector features a screwsleeve tighten the connector enough to firmly maintain the fiber in place Do not overtighten as this will damage the fiber and the port

Note If your fiber-optic cable is not properly aligned andor connected you will notice heavy loss and reflection

IMPORTANTTo ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings

Always clean fiber ends as explained below before inserting them into the port EXFO is not responsible for damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling

Ensure that your patchcord has appropriate connectors Joining mismatched connectors will damage the ferrules

4 Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600)

Nulling Electrical OffsetsTemperature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values

Note Factory-defined values will be reinstated when you turn off the unit

To perform an offset nullingHold down a few seconds The unit displays NULL while nulling the offsets then returns to normal mode

Note Keypad is disabled during the operation

IMPORTANTIf light reaches the detector when nulling offsets LIGH appears on the display and the nulling is not performed You will need to press a key to return to the previous display

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 11

Setting Power Correction FactorYou may apply a correction factor (CF) to measured power to compensate for inaccuracies or drifts You should change the CF after performing an offset nulling

For each favorite wavelength the CF is set to 100 at the factory (even if the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo) but allowed values range between 085 and 115

Note Some other products express the CF in dB so the CF would be added to measured power

To set a correction factor for one or more wavelengths1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the CF menu

3 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated correction factors If no correction factor is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

4 Press to activatedeactivate the displayed correction factor A ldquoCFrdquo indicator will appear next to measured power in normal mode

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

To perform power or loss measurements1 If necessary perform an offset nulling (see Nulling Electrical Offsets on page 10)

2 Check and clean your fibers appropriately for optimum performance (see Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers on page 9)

3 For loss measurements reference your power meter to a light source (see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13) then deactivate the light source

4 Using the proper adapter and test jumpers connect a fiber under test to a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600) and to the detector port of your unit

Note If you have referenced your power meter to a source simply connect a fiber under test to the test jumpers used for referencing

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

When a threshold is activated the PASSFAIL LED is turned on If it is green the threshold succeeded if the PASSFAIL LED is red the threshold failed

To set passfail thresholds1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PF menu

3 Press to switch between power (dBm) and loss (dB) values

4 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated thresholds If no threshold is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

5 Press to activatedeactivate the displayed threshold The PASSFAIL LED will light (green or red) when you return to normal mode

6 Edit the passfail threshold as follows

6a Hold down for a few seconds The first digit of the threshold blinks

6b Clear all digits by holding down for a few seconds

ANDOR

Select a digit to change by holding until it blinks then increase its value by pressing (it returns to 0 after 9) After the last digit all digits blink you may addremove the ldquondashrdquo sign by pressing

6c While a digit blinks hold down for a few seconds to save the modified value (it remains in memory even when you turn off the unit) or press to return to the previous value without saving

5 Press twice to exit setup menus

ActivatingDeactivating a Light Source or VFLOnly one source may be active at a time When no source is active the unit displays OFF

To activate a light source (or VFL) and change the wavelengthPress to activate each available source in turn including the VFL The unit displays the wavelength and modulation

To deactivate the light sourcePress until you get past the last source

Modulating the Source SignalWhen you activate the first source (after turning on the unit) the signal is always CW (unmodulated) When you switch sources the modulation remains the same (VFL remembers its own modulation) Modulation is indicated in the top left (port 1) or top right (port 2) corner

Available modulation values are CW Auto auto-switching mode 270 Hz 1 kHz and 2 kHz (VFL CW and 1 Hz only)

Note Auto is a modulated signal detected by compatible units (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17) It provides longer battery life than CW but covers a reduced power range

Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers

To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port1 Clean the fiber ends as follows

1a Gently wipe the fiber end with a lint-free swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol

1b Use compressed air to dry completely

1c Visually inspect the fiber end to ensure its cleanliness

2 Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against other surfaces

If your connector features a key ensure that it is fully fitted into the portrsquos corresponding notch

3 Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place thus ensuring adequate contact

If your connector features a screwsleeve tighten the connector enough to firmly maintain the fiber in place Do not overtighten as this will damage the fiber and the port

Note If your fiber-optic cable is not properly aligned andor connected you will notice heavy loss and reflection

IMPORTANTTo ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings

Always clean fiber ends as explained below before inserting them into the port EXFO is not responsible for damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling

Ensure that your patchcord has appropriate connectors Joining mismatched connectors will damage the ferrules

4 Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600)

Nulling Electrical OffsetsTemperature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values

Note Factory-defined values will be reinstated when you turn off the unit

To perform an offset nullingHold down a few seconds The unit displays NULL while nulling the offsets then returns to normal mode

Note Keypad is disabled during the operation

IMPORTANTIf light reaches the detector when nulling offsets LIGH appears on the display and the nulling is not performed You will need to press a key to return to the previous display

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 11

Setting Power Correction FactorYou may apply a correction factor (CF) to measured power to compensate for inaccuracies or drifts You should change the CF after performing an offset nulling

For each favorite wavelength the CF is set to 100 at the factory (even if the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo) but allowed values range between 085 and 115

Note Some other products express the CF in dB so the CF would be added to measured power

To set a correction factor for one or more wavelengths1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the CF menu

3 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated correction factors If no correction factor is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

When a threshold is activated the PASSFAIL LED is turned on If it is green the threshold succeeded if the PASSFAIL LED is red the threshold failed

To set passfail thresholds1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PF menu

Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers

To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port1 Clean the fiber ends as follows

1a Gently wipe the fiber end with a lint-free swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol

1b Use compressed air to dry completely

1c Visually inspect the fiber end to ensure its cleanliness

2 Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against other surfaces

If your connector features a key ensure that it is fully fitted into the portrsquos corresponding notch

3 Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place thus ensuring adequate contact

If your connector features a screwsleeve tighten the connector enough to firmly maintain the fiber in place Do not overtighten as this will damage the fiber and the port

Note If your fiber-optic cable is not properly aligned andor connected you will notice heavy loss and reflection

IMPORTANTTo ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings

Always clean fiber ends as explained below before inserting them into the port EXFO is not responsible for damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling

Ensure that your patchcord has appropriate connectors Joining mismatched connectors will damage the ferrules

4 Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600)

Nulling Electrical OffsetsTemperature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values

Note Factory-defined values will be reinstated when you turn off the unit

To perform an offset nullingHold down a few seconds The unit displays NULL while nulling the offsets then returns to normal mode

Note Keypad is disabled during the operation

IMPORTANTIf light reaches the detector when nulling offsets LIGH appears on the display and the nulling is not performed You will need to press a key to return to the previous display

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 11

Setting Power Correction FactorYou may apply a correction factor (CF) to measured power to compensate for inaccuracies or drifts You should change the CF after performing an offset nulling

For each favorite wavelength the CF is set to 100 at the factory (even if the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo) but allowed values range between 085 and 115

Note Some other products express the CF in dB so the CF would be added to measured power

To set a correction factor for one or more wavelengths1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the CF menu

3 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated correction factors If no correction factor is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

4 Press to activatedeactivate the displayed correction factor A ldquoCFrdquo indicator will appear next to measured power in normal mode

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

When a threshold is activated the PASSFAIL LED is turned on If it is green the threshold succeeded if the PASSFAIL LED is red the threshold failed

To set passfail thresholds1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PF menu

3 Press to switch between power (dBm) and loss (dB) values

4 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated thresholds If no threshold is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers

To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port1 Clean the fiber ends as follows

1a Gently wipe the fiber end with a lint-free swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol

1b Use compressed air to dry completely

1c Visually inspect the fiber end to ensure its cleanliness

2 Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against other surfaces

If your connector features a key ensure that it is fully fitted into the portrsquos corresponding notch

3 Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place thus ensuring adequate contact

If your connector features a screwsleeve tighten the connector enough to firmly maintain the fiber in place Do not overtighten as this will damage the fiber and the port

Note If your fiber-optic cable is not properly aligned andor connected you will notice heavy loss and reflection

IMPORTANTTo ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings

Always clean fiber ends as explained below before inserting them into the port EXFO is not responsible for damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling

Ensure that your patchcord has appropriate connectors Joining mismatched connectors will damage the ferrules

4 Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600)

Nulling Electrical OffsetsTemperature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values

Note Factory-defined values will be reinstated when you turn off the unit

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

4 Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600)

Nulling Electrical OffsetsTemperature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values

Note Factory-defined values will be reinstated when you turn off the unit

To perform an offset nullingHold down a few seconds The unit displays NULL while nulling the offsets then returns to normal mode

Note Keypad is disabled during the operation

IMPORTANTIf light reaches the detector when nulling offsets LIGH appears on the display and the nulling is not performed You will need to press a key to return to the previous display

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 11

Setting Power Correction FactorYou may apply a correction factor (CF) to measured power to compensate for inaccuracies or drifts You should change the CF after performing an offset nulling

For each favorite wavelength the CF is set to 100 at the factory (even if the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo) but allowed values range between 085 and 115

Note Some other products express the CF in dB so the CF would be added to measured power

To set a correction factor for one or more wavelengths1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the CF menu

3 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated correction factors If no correction factor is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

4 Press to activatedeactivate the displayed correction factor A ldquoCFrdquo indicator will appear next to measured power in normal mode

5 Edit the correction factor as follows

5a Hold down a few seconds The first digit of the CF blinks

5b Clear all digits by holding down for a few seconds

ANDOR

Select a digit to change by holding until it blinks then increase its value by pressing (it returns to 0 after 9)

5c While a digit blinks hold down for a few seconds to save the modified value (it remains in memory even when you turn off the unit) or press to return to the previous value without saving

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

When a threshold is activated the PASSFAIL LED is turned on If it is green the threshold succeeded if the PASSFAIL LED is red the threshold failed

To set passfail thresholds1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PF menu

3 Press to switch between power (dBm) and loss (dB) values

4 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated thresholds If no threshold is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

Page 16: User Guide FPM-FLS-FOT-600 English (1053212) - EXFOdocuments.exfo.com/Products/UserGuides/User Guide FPM-FLS-FOT … · 1 Introducing the FPM/FLS/FOT-600 ... Data storage on unit

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 11

Setting Power Correction FactorYou may apply a correction factor (CF) to measured power to compensate for inaccuracies or drifts You should change the CF after performing an offset nulling

For each favorite wavelength the CF is set to 100 at the factory (even if the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo) but allowed values range between 085 and 115

Note Some other products express the CF in dB so the CF would be added to measured power

To set a correction factor for one or more wavelengths1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the CF menu

3 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated correction factors If no correction factor is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

4 Press to activatedeactivate the displayed correction factor A ldquoCFrdquo indicator will appear next to measured power in normal mode

5 Edit the correction factor as follows

5a Hold down a few seconds The first digit of the CF blinks

5b Clear all digits by holding down for a few seconds

ANDOR

Select a digit to change by holding until it blinks then increase its value by pressing (it returns to 0 after 9)

5c While a digit blinks hold down for a few seconds to save the modified value (it remains in memory even when you turn off the unit) or press to return to the previous value without saving

6 Press twice to exit setup menus

Defining a List of Favorite WavelengthsYou must put the wavelengths you want to use on a list of favorite wavelengths (the FAV list) Only wavelengths on this list are available for measurements You may enter up to 40 favorite wavelengths

Specifications are guaranteed for calibrated wavelengths only For other wavelengths the unit will determine values based on the calibrated wavelengths (3-point interpolation)

To add wavelengths to the FAV list (or to remove them)1 From normal operating mode press repeatedly

until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the FAV menu

3 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside wavelengths already on the list If no wavelength is set for a position the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo You may also press to switch between defined wavelengths only

4 Press to includeexclude the displayed wavelength

5 Edit the wavelength value as follows

5a Hold down a few seconds The first digit of the wavelength blinks

5b Clear all digits by holding down for a few seconds

ANDOR

Select a digit to change by holding until it blinks then increase its value by pressing (it returns to 0 after 9)

5c While a digit blinks hold down for a few seconds to save the modified value (it remains in memory even when you turn off the unit) or press to return to the previous value without saving

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 15

Measuring Power or LossMeasuring absolute power or link loss is done the same way except for the referencing step

To perform power or loss measurements1 If necessary perform an offset nulling (see Nulling Electrical Offsets on page 10)

2 Check and clean your fibers appropriately for optimum performance (see Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers on page 9)

3 For loss measurements reference your power meter to a light source (see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13) then deactivate the light source

4 Using the proper adapter and test jumpers connect a fiber under test to a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600) and to the detector port of your unit

Note If you have referenced your power meter to a source simply connect a fiber under test to the test jumpers used for referencing

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

When a threshold is activated the PASSFAIL LED is turned on If it is green the threshold succeeded if the PASSFAIL LED is red the threshold failed

To set passfail thresholds1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PF menu

3 Press to switch between power (dBm) and loss (dB) values

4 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated thresholds If no threshold is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

6 Clean the ferrule in the connector port as follows

6a Deposit one drop of isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free wiping cloth

6b Gently wipe the connector and ferrule

6c With a dry lint-free wiping cloth gently wipe the same surfaces to ensure that the connector and ferrule are perfectly dry

6d Verify connector surface with a portable fiber-optic microscope (for example EXFOrsquos FOMS) or fiberinspection probe (for example EXFOrsquos FIP)

7 Put the EUI back onto the instrument (push and turn clockwise)

8 Throw out cleaning tips and wiping cloths after one use

IMPORTANTSince isopropyl alcohol is not absolutely pure it may leave residues if used abundantly or left to evaporate (about 10 seconds)

Avoid contact between the tip of the bottle and the wiping cloth dry the surface quickly and use a bottle that distributes only a drop of alcohol at a time

WARNINGVerifying the surface of the connector WHILE THE UNIT IS ACTIVE WILL result in permanent eye damage

Cleaning Detector PortsRegular cleaning of detectors will help maintain measurement accuracy

To clean detector ports1 Remove the protective cap and adapter (FOA) from the detector

2 If the detector is dusty blow dry with compressed air

3 Being careful not to touch the soft end of the swab moisten a cleaning tip with only one drop of isopropyl alcohol

4 While applying light pressure (to avoid breaking the detector window) gently rotate the cleaning tip on the detector window

5 Repeat step 4 with a dry cleaning tip or blow dry with compressed air

6 Discard the cleaning tips after one use

Recharging the BatteryThe Li-Ion battery will last about 70 hours (power meter) or 50 hours (source in Auto mode) in normal operation The charge status is shown on the unit display (lower left corner)

To recharge the Li-Ion batteryConnect the unit to a power outlet (or car outlet) using the AC adaptercharger The charge cycle will start and end automatically

Note While charging the battery indicator animates continuously It does not reflect the actual charge status until charging is complete

IMPORTANTAlways cover detectors with protective caps when unit is not in use

IMPORTANTAlcohol may leave traces if used abundantly Do not use bottles that distribute too much alcohol at a time

IMPORTANTThe battery is not charged at the factory Fully charge it (about 4 hours) before using it for the first time

The battery functions and charges properly between 0 oC and 45 oC (32 oF and 113 oF) It will not charge if the temperature is below -10 oC (14 oF) or above 45 oC (113 oF)

Never store battery at temperatures above 60 oC (140 oF)

Charge only with specified charger

Recalibrating the UnitManufacturing and service center calibrations are based on the ISOIEC 17025 Standard which states that calibration documents must not contain a recommended calibration interval unless this has been previously agreed upon with the customer

Validity of specifications depends on operating conditions For example the calibration validity period can be longer or shorter depending on the intensity of use environmental conditions and unit maintenance You should determine the adequate calibration interval for your unit according to your accuracy requirements

Under normal use EXFO recommends calibrating your unit every three years

Note The FlexCare warranty program includes CalibrationVerification packages (see Service and Repairs on page 39)

To view the last calibration date (FOT-600 and FPM-600 only)1 From normal operating mode hold down and

for a few seconds The unit displays the first embedded software version

2 Press until you reach the calibration date (and version) of the power meter

3 Press to return to normal mode

Page 18: User Guide FPM-FLS-FOT-600 English (1053212) - EXFOdocuments.exfo.com/Products/UserGuides/User Guide FPM-FLS-FOT … · 1 Introducing the FPM/FLS/FOT-600 ... Data storage on unit

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 13

Referencing Your Power Meter to a SourceIn reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power

Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit a power value to your power meter avoiding the need for manual referencing

To receive the reference power value from a compatible source1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

(as shown below with or without a fiber under test)

2 Use the source to emit the signal that contains its power value (see Sending Source Power Value with Signal on page 21)

If reference value or units change the power meter beeps

The new reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

Note When using this feature you cannot change the power meterrsquos wavelength manually The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 15

Measuring Power or LossMeasuring absolute power or link loss is done the same way except for the referencing step

To perform power or loss measurements1 If necessary perform an offset nulling (see Nulling Electrical Offsets on page 10)

2 Check and clean your fibers appropriately for optimum performance (see Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers on page 9)

3 For loss measurements reference your power meter to a light source (see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13) then deactivate the light source

4 Using the proper adapter and test jumpers connect a fiber under test to a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600) and to the detector port of your unit

Note If you have referenced your power meter to a source simply connect a fiber under test to the test jumpers used for referencing

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

When a threshold is activated the PASSFAIL LED is turned on If it is green the threshold succeeded if the PASSFAIL LED is red the threshold failed

To set passfail thresholds1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PF menu

3 Press to switch between power (dBm) and loss (dB) values

4 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated thresholds If no threshold is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

5 Press to activatedeactivate the displayed threshold The PASSFAIL LED will light (green or red) when you return to normal mode

6 Edit the passfail threshold as follows

6a Hold down for a few seconds The first digit of the threshold blinks

6b Clear all digits by holding down for a few seconds

ANDOR

Select a digit to change by holding until it blinks then increase its value by pressing (it returns to 0 after 9) After the last digit all digits blink you may addremove the ldquondashrdquo sign by pressing

6c While a digit blinks hold down for a few seconds to save the modified value (it remains in memory even when you turn off the unit) or press to return to the previous value without saving

To deactivate the light sourcePress until you get past the last source

Modulating the Source SignalWhen you activate the first source (after turning on the unit) the signal is always CW (unmodulated) When you switch sources the modulation remains the same (VFL remembers its own modulation) Modulation is indicated in the top left (port 1) or top right (port 2) corner

Available modulation values are CW Auto auto-switching mode 270 Hz 1 kHz and 2 kHz (VFL CW and 1 Hz only)

Note Auto is a modulated signal detected by compatible units (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17) It provides longer battery life than CW but covers a reduced power range

Note Auto-switching mode is a special signal detected by compatible units (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

To change the signal modulation1 Activate the source

Sending Source Power Value with SignalYour source can transmit a user-defined power value to compatible power meters (such as FOT-600 and FPM-600) through the fiber If the reference source is far from the power meter you can connect your source to the power meter to send the reference value With this feature you can also correct for power variations

Note If you connect a fiber between FOT-600rsquos source and detector ports the unit can use the actual source output power as reference power

Note For details about how compatible power meters receive this power value see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not (and will not affect) the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To define the source power value to use as reference1 From normal operating mode press repeatedly until you reach SRC

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PREF menu

3 Press to switch between available source wavelengths and select one The unit displays the currently defined power value for this wavelength

4 Edit the power value as follows

Page 19: User Guide FPM-FLS-FOT-600 English (1053212) - EXFOdocuments.exfo.com/Products/UserGuides/User Guide FPM-FLS-FOT … · 1 Introducing the FPM/FLS/FOT-600 ... Data storage on unit

To reference the power meter to a source manually1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600)

to the detector port of your power meter

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 Hold down for a few seconds The power meter stores the currently detected power as the new reference power

Reference power is displayed in the top right corner (in dBm) and current loss reading is automatically switched to dB

5 Repeat the procedure for each wavelength you want to reference (if you use auto-switching mode the power meter automatically references wavelengths one at a time)

Note When using dB units press to display the current wavelength for a few seconds To change this wavelength press again while it is displayed

Note Once all desired wavelengths have been referenced do not disconnect the Reference Test Jumper from the source port

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 15

Measuring Power or LossMeasuring absolute power or link loss is done the same way except for the referencing step

To perform power or loss measurements1 If necessary perform an offset nulling (see Nulling Electrical Offsets on page 10)

2 Check and clean your fibers appropriately for optimum performance (see Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers on page 9)

3 For loss measurements reference your power meter to a light source (see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13) then deactivate the light source

4 Using the proper adapter and test jumpers connect a fiber under test to a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600) and to the detector port of your unit

Note If you have referenced your power meter to a source simply connect a fiber under test to the test jumpers used for referencing

6 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

When the unit detects a modulated signal it beeps and displays the modulation value and average measured power or loss (see left illustration above) You may notice a slightly unstable last digit

7 If necessary change the displayed units by pressing

8 Repeat the procedure for other wavelengths

When power or loss is outside power limits(see Technical Specifications on page 41)

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 17

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

When a threshold is activated the PASSFAIL LED is turned on If it is green the threshold succeeded if the PASSFAIL LED is red the threshold failed

To set passfail thresholds1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PF menu

3 Press to switch between power (dBm) and loss (dB) values

4 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated thresholds If no threshold is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

5 Press to activatedeactivate the displayed threshold The PASSFAIL LED will light (green or red) when you return to normal mode

6 Edit the passfail threshold as follows

6a Hold down for a few seconds The first digit of the threshold blinks

6b Clear all digits by holding down for a few seconds

ANDOR

Select a digit to change by holding until it blinks then increase its value by pressing (it returns to 0 after 9) After the last digit all digits blink you may addremove the ldquondashrdquo sign by pressing

Page 20: User Guide FPM-FLS-FOT-600 English (1053212) - EXFOdocuments.exfo.com/Products/UserGuides/User Guide FPM-FLS-FOT … · 1 Introducing the FPM/FLS/FOT-600 ... Data storage on unit

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 15

Measuring Power or LossMeasuring absolute power or link loss is done the same way except for the referencing step

To perform power or loss measurements1 If necessary perform an offset nulling (see Nulling Electrical Offsets on page 10)

2 Check and clean your fibers appropriately for optimum performance (see Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers on page 9)

3 For loss measurements reference your power meter to a light source (see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13) then deactivate the light source

4 Using the proper adapter and test jumpers connect a fiber under test to a light source (such as FLS-600 or FOT-600) and to the detector port of your unit

Note If you have referenced your power meter to a source simply connect a fiber under test to the test jumpers used for referencing

5 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

6 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

When the unit detects a modulated signal it beeps and displays the modulation value and average measured power or loss (see left illustration above) You may notice a slightly unstable last digit

7 If necessary change the displayed units by pressing

8 Repeat the procedure for other wavelengths

When power or loss is outside power limits(see Technical Specifications on page 41)

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 17

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

When a threshold is activated the PASSFAIL LED is turned on If it is green the threshold succeeded if the PASSFAIL LED is red the threshold failed

To set passfail thresholds1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PF menu

3 Press to switch between power (dBm) and loss (dB) values

4 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated thresholds If no threshold is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

5 Press to activatedeactivate the displayed threshold The PASSFAIL LED will light (green or red) when you return to normal mode

6 Edit the passfail threshold as follows

6a Hold down for a few seconds The first digit of the threshold blinks

6b Clear all digits by holding down for a few seconds

ANDOR

Select a digit to change by holding until it blinks then increase its value by pressing (it returns to 0 after 9) After the last digit all digits blink you may addremove the ldquondashrdquo sign by pressing

6c While a digit blinks hold down for a few seconds to save the modified value (it remains in memory even when you turn off the unit) or press to return to the previous value without saving

The FLS-600 may contain up to three sources (one-port models) or up to four sources (two-port models) The FOT-600 may contain up to three sources

Note The VFL option may also be present on the FPM-600

Defining a List of Favorite WavelengthsYou may put the wavelengths you want to use on a list of favorite wavelengths (the FAV list) Only wavelengths on this list are available for measurements

At the factory (or after recalibration) the list contains all source wavelengths

Note The list must always contain at least one wavelength When you empty the list the first source wavelength is automatically added

To add wavelengths to the FAV list (or to remove them)1 From normal operating mode press repeatedly

until you reach SRC

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the FAV menu

3 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside wavelengths already on the list

4 Press to includeexclude the displayed wavelength

5 Press twice to exit setup menus

ActivatingDeactivating a Light Source or VFLOnly one source may be active at a time When no source is active the unit displays OFF

To activate a light source (or VFL) and change the wavelengthPress to activate each available source in turn including the VFL The unit displays the wavelength and modulation

To deactivate the light sourcePress until you get past the last source

Modulating the Source SignalWhen you activate the first source (after turning on the unit) the signal is always CW (unmodulated) When you switch sources the modulation remains the same (VFL remembers its own modulation) Modulation is indicated in the top left (port 1) or top right (port 2) corner

Available modulation values are CW Auto auto-switching mode 270 Hz 1 kHz and 2 kHz (VFL CW and 1 Hz only)

Note Auto is a modulated signal detected by compatible units (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17) It provides longer battery life than CW but covers a reduced power range

Note Auto-switching mode is a special signal detected by compatible units (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

To change the signal modulation1 Activate the source

Using Auto-Switching ModeIn auto-switching mode your source automatically switches from one wavelength to another When connected to the light source a compatible power meter displays the power value for each wavelength one at a time The wavelength value appearing on the display changes every two seconds

The unit will show the sources favorite wavelengths one at a time (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 19)

To activate auto-switching mode1 Press to activate the source

2 Press to switch between available modulations until the Auto indicator blinks on your display

Sending Source Power Value with SignalYour source can transmit a user-defined power value to compatible power meters (such as FOT-600 and FPM-600) through the fiber If the reference source is far from the power meter you can connect your source to the power meter to send the reference value With this feature you can also correct for power variations

Note If you connect a fiber between FOT-600rsquos source and detector ports the unit can use the actual source output power as reference power

Note For details about how compatible power meters receive this power value see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not (and will not affect) the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To define the source power value to use as reference1 From normal operating mode press repeatedly until you reach SRC

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PREF menu

3 Press to switch between available source wavelengths and select one The unit displays the currently defined power value for this wavelength

4 Edit the power value as follows

4a Hold down for a few seconds The first digit of the power value blinks

4b Revert all digits to 0 by holding down for a few seconds

ANDOR

Select a digit to change by pressing until it blinks then increase its value by pressing (it returns to 0 after 9) After the last digit all digits blink you may addremove the ldquondashrdquo sign by pressing

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

When a threshold is activated the PASSFAIL LED is turned on If it is green the threshold succeeded if the PASSFAIL LED is red the threshold failed

To set passfail thresholds1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PF menu

3 Press to switch between power (dBm) and loss (dB) values

4 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated thresholds If no threshold is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

5 Press to activatedeactivate the displayed threshold The PASSFAIL LED will light (green or red) when you return to normal mode

6 Edit the passfail threshold as follows

6a Hold down for a few seconds The first digit of the threshold blinks

6b Clear all digits by holding down for a few seconds

ANDOR

Select a digit to change by holding until it blinks then increase its value by pressing (it returns to 0 after 9) After the last digit all digits blink you may addremove the ldquondashrdquo sign by pressing

6c While a digit blinks hold down for a few seconds to save the modified value (it remains in memory even when you turn off the unit) or press to return to the previous value without saving

The FLS-600 may contain up to three sources (one-port models) or up to four sources (two-port models) The FOT-600 may contain up to three sources

Note The VFL option may also be present on the FPM-600

Defining a List of Favorite WavelengthsYou may put the wavelengths you want to use on a list of favorite wavelengths (the FAV list) Only wavelengths on this list are available for measurements

At the factory (or after recalibration) the list contains all source wavelengths

Note The list must always contain at least one wavelength When you empty the list the first source wavelength is automatically added

To add wavelengths to the FAV list (or to remove them)1 From normal operating mode press repeatedly

until you reach SRC

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the FAV menu

3 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside wavelengths already on the list

5 Press twice to exit setup menus

ActivatingDeactivating a Light Source or VFLOnly one source may be active at a time When no source is active the unit displays OFF

To activate a light source (or VFL) and change the wavelengthPress to activate each available source in turn including the VFL The unit displays the wavelength and modulation

To deactivate the light sourcePress until you get past the last source

Modulating the Source SignalWhen you activate the first source (after turning on the unit) the signal is always CW (unmodulated) When you switch sources the modulation remains the same (VFL remembers its own modulation) Modulation is indicated in the top left (port 1) or top right (port 2) corner

Available modulation values are CW Auto auto-switching mode 270 Hz 1 kHz and 2 kHz (VFL CW and 1 Hz only)

Note Auto is a modulated signal detected by compatible units (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17) It provides longer battery life than CW but covers a reduced power range

Note Auto-switching mode is a special signal detected by compatible units (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

To change the signal modulation1 Activate the source

Using Auto-Switching ModeIn auto-switching mode your source automatically switches from one wavelength to another When connected to the light source a compatible power meter displays the power value for each wavelength one at a time The wavelength value appearing on the display changes every two seconds

The unit will show the sources favorite wavelengths one at a time (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 19)

To activate auto-switching mode1 Press to activate the source

2 Press to switch between available modulations until the Auto indicator blinks on your display

Sending Source Power Value with SignalYour source can transmit a user-defined power value to compatible power meters (such as FOT-600 and FPM-600) through the fiber If the reference source is far from the power meter you can connect your source to the power meter to send the reference value With this feature you can also correct for power variations

Note If you connect a fiber between FOT-600rsquos source and detector ports the unit can use the actual source output power as reference power

Note For details about how compatible power meters receive this power value see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not (and will not affect) the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To define the source power value to use as reference1 From normal operating mode press repeatedly until you reach SRC

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PREF menu

3 Press to switch between available source wavelengths and select one The unit displays the currently defined power value for this wavelength

4 Edit the power value as follows

4a Hold down for a few seconds The first digit of the power value blinks

4b Revert all digits to 0 by holding down for a few seconds

ANDOR

Select a digit to change by pressing until it blinks then increase its value by pressing (it returns to 0 after 9) After the last digit all digits blink you may addremove the ldquondashrdquo sign by pressing

To replace the battery1 Turn off the unit (if the AC adapter is plugged in you may replace the battery

while unit is on)

2 Open the battery compartment door located at the back of the unit

3 Replace the battery respecting the polarity

4 Close the battery compartment door

Recalibrating the UnitManufacturing and service center calibrations are based on the ISOIEC 17025 Standard which states that calibration documents must not contain a recommended calibration interval unless this has been previously agreed upon with the customer

Validity of specifications depends on operating conditions For example the calibration validity period can be longer or shorter depending on the intensity of use environmental conditions and unit maintenance You should determine the adequate calibration interval for your unit according to your accuracy requirements

Under normal use EXFO recommends calibrating your unit every three years

Note The FlexCare warranty program includes CalibrationVerification packages (see Service and Repairs on page 39)

To view the last calibration date (FOT-600 and FPM-600 only)1 From normal operating mode hold down and

for a few seconds The unit displays the first embedded software version

2 Press until you reach the calibration date (and version) of the power meter

3 Press to return to normal mode

WARNINGDo not throw batteries into fire or water and do not short-circuit the batteriesrsquo electrical contacts Do not disassemble

Measuring Power or Loss (FPM-600 and FOT-600) 17

Automatically Detecting WavelengthCompatible sources (such as FOT-600 and FLS-600) can transmit their wavelength value through the fiber avoiding the need to manually match the source and power meter wavelengths

Note When you receive an auto-wavelength signal or when the source is in auto-switching mode you cannot manually change the power meter wavelength The power meter behavior is totally determined by the source

To receive the auto-wavelength signal or detect the sources auto-switching mode1 Connect a compatible source to your power meter

2 Activate the source in Auto mode (FOT-600 and FLS-600 see Modulating the Source Signal on page 20) or in auto-switching mode (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength If the wavelengths differ it also beeps and returns you to normal operating mode

Activating Hold MinMax Power ModeWith the Hold MinMax mode you can record extreme values of a varying power signal You could use it to test the stability of a light source over time

In this mode the unit displays the minimum or maximum power value read up to now It continuously updates the display if a new minmax is measured

To activate the Hold Min or Hold Max modePress to switch between Hold Max Hold Min and regular power measurement

To reset the maximum or minimum valueHold down for a few seconds The unit displays ldquo_ _ _ _rdquo

Setting PassFail ThresholdsYou can define thresholds to specify acceptable power (dBm) or loss (dB) values for each wavelength Thresholds are often supplied by system manufacturers and depend on the system deployed

When a threshold is activated the PASSFAIL LED is turned on If it is green the threshold succeeded if the PASSFAIL LED is red the threshold failed

To set passfail thresholds1 From normal operating mode press

repeatedly until you reach PM

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PF menu

3 Press to switch between power (dBm) and loss (dB) values

4 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside activated thresholds If no threshold is set for a wavelength the unit indicates ldquo----rdquo

5 Press to activatedeactivate the displayed threshold The PASSFAIL LED will light (green or red) when you return to normal mode

6 Edit the passfail threshold as follows

6a Hold down for a few seconds The first digit of the threshold blinks

6b Clear all digits by holding down for a few seconds

ANDOR

Select a digit to change by holding until it blinks then increase its value by pressing (it returns to 0 after 9) After the last digit all digits blink you may addremove the ldquondashrdquo sign by pressing

6c While a digit blinks hold down for a few seconds to save the modified value (it remains in memory even when you turn off the unit) or press to return to the previous value without saving

7 Press twice to exit setup menus

Using a Light Source (FLS-600 and FOT-600) or VFL 19

5 Using a Light Source (FLS-600 and FOT-600) or VFL

The FLS-600 may contain up to three sources (one-port models) or up to four sources (two-port models) The FOT-600 may contain up to three sources

Note The VFL option may also be present on the FPM-600

Defining a List of Favorite WavelengthsYou may put the wavelengths you want to use on a list of favorite wavelengths (the FAV list) Only wavelengths on this list are available for measurements

At the factory (or after recalibration) the list contains all source wavelengths

Note The list must always contain at least one wavelength When you empty the list the first source wavelength is automatically added

To add wavelengths to the FAV list (or to remove them)1 From normal operating mode press repeatedly

until you reach SRC

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the FAV menu

3 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside wavelengths already on the list

4 Press to includeexclude the displayed wavelength

5 Press twice to exit setup menus

ActivatingDeactivating a Light Source or VFLOnly one source may be active at a time When no source is active the unit displays OFF

To activate a light source (or VFL) and change the wavelengthPress to activate each available source in turn including the VFL The unit displays the wavelength and modulation

To deactivate the light sourcePress until you get past the last source

Modulating the Source SignalWhen you activate the first source (after turning on the unit) the signal is always CW (unmodulated) When you switch sources the modulation remains the same (VFL remembers its own modulation) Modulation is indicated in the top left (port 1) or top right (port 2) corner

Available modulation values are CW Auto auto-switching mode 270 Hz 1 kHz and 2 kHz (VFL CW and 1 Hz only)

Note Auto is a modulated signal detected by compatible units (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17) It provides longer battery life than CW but covers a reduced power range

Note Auto-switching mode is a special signal detected by compatible units (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

To change the signal modulation1 Activate the source

2 Press to switch between available modulations

Using a Light Source (FLS-600 and FOT-600) or VFL 21

Using Auto-Switching ModeIn auto-switching mode your source automatically switches from one wavelength to another When connected to the light source a compatible power meter displays the power value for each wavelength one at a time The wavelength value appearing on the display changes every two seconds

The unit will show the sources favorite wavelengths one at a time (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 19)

To activate auto-switching mode1 Press to activate the source

2 Press to switch between available modulations until the Auto indicator blinks on your display

Sending Source Power Value with SignalYour source can transmit a user-defined power value to compatible power meters (such as FOT-600 and FPM-600) through the fiber If the reference source is far from the power meter you can connect your source to the power meter to send the reference value With this feature you can also correct for power variations

Note If you connect a fiber between FOT-600rsquos source and detector ports the unit can use the actual source output power as reference power

Note For details about how compatible power meters receive this power value see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not (and will not affect) the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To define the source power value to use as reference1 From normal operating mode press repeatedly until you reach SRC

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PREF menu

3 Press to switch between available source wavelengths and select one The unit displays the currently defined power value for this wavelength

4 Edit the power value as follows

4a Hold down for a few seconds The first digit of the power value blinks

4b Revert all digits to 0 by holding down for a few seconds

ANDOR

Select a digit to change by pressing until it blinks then increase its value by pressing (it returns to 0 after 9) After the last digit all digits blink you may addremove the ldquondashrdquo sign by pressing

4c While a digit blinks hold down for a few seconds to save the modified value (it remains in memory even when you turn off the unit) or press to return to the previous value without saving

5 Press twice to exit setup menus

To use the sourcersquos actual output power as reference (FOT-600 only)1 Connect a fiber between the source and power meter of same unit

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 From normal operating mode hold down and The unit displays PREF for a few seconds while saving the value then returns to normal mode

To send the source power value1 Activate the source

2 Change the modulation signal to AUTO or auto-switching

If you use auto-switching mode the power value of each wavelength will automatically be sent

3 Hold down and to send the power value with an auto-wavelength signal The unit displays Send for a few seconds then returns to normal mode

Recalibrating the UnitManufacturing and service center calibrations are based on the ISOIEC 17025 Standard which states that calibration documents must not contain a recommended calibration interval unless this has been previously agreed upon with the customer

Validity of specifications depends on operating conditions For example the calibration validity period can be longer or shorter depending on the intensity of use environmental conditions and unit maintenance You should determine the adequate calibration interval for your unit according to your accuracy requirements

Under normal use EXFO recommends calibrating your unit every three years

Note The FlexCare warranty program includes CalibrationVerification packages (see Service and Repairs on page 39)

To view the last calibration date (FOT-600 and FPM-600 only)1 From normal operating mode hold down and

for a few seconds The unit displays the first embedded software version

2 Press until you reach the calibration date (and version) of the power meter

3 Press to return to normal mode

Using a Light Source (FLS-600 and FOT-600) or VFL 19

5 Using a Light Source (FLS-600 and FOT-600) or VFL

The FLS-600 may contain up to three sources (one-port models) or up to four sources (two-port models) The FOT-600 may contain up to three sources

Note The VFL option may also be present on the FPM-600

Defining a List of Favorite WavelengthsYou may put the wavelengths you want to use on a list of favorite wavelengths (the FAV list) Only wavelengths on this list are available for measurements

At the factory (or after recalibration) the list contains all source wavelengths

Note The list must always contain at least one wavelength When you empty the list the first source wavelength is automatically added

To add wavelengths to the FAV list (or to remove them)1 From normal operating mode press repeatedly

until you reach SRC

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the FAV menu

3 Press to switch between available wavelengths An asterisk () appears beside wavelengths already on the list

4 Press to includeexclude the displayed wavelength

5 Press twice to exit setup menus

ActivatingDeactivating a Light Source or VFLOnly one source may be active at a time When no source is active the unit displays OFF

To activate a light source (or VFL) and change the wavelengthPress to activate each available source in turn including the VFL The unit displays the wavelength and modulation

To deactivate the light sourcePress until you get past the last source

Modulating the Source SignalWhen you activate the first source (after turning on the unit) the signal is always CW (unmodulated) When you switch sources the modulation remains the same (VFL remembers its own modulation) Modulation is indicated in the top left (port 1) or top right (port 2) corner

Available modulation values are CW Auto auto-switching mode 270 Hz 1 kHz and 2 kHz (VFL CW and 1 Hz only)

Note Auto is a modulated signal detected by compatible units (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17) It provides longer battery life than CW but covers a reduced power range

Note Auto-switching mode is a special signal detected by compatible units (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

To change the signal modulation1 Activate the source

Using a Light Source (FLS-600 and FOT-600) or VFL 21

Using Auto-Switching ModeIn auto-switching mode your source automatically switches from one wavelength to another When connected to the light source a compatible power meter displays the power value for each wavelength one at a time The wavelength value appearing on the display changes every two seconds

The unit will show the sources favorite wavelengths one at a time (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 19)

To activate auto-switching mode1 Press to activate the source

2 Press to switch between available modulations until the Auto indicator blinks on your display

Sending Source Power Value with SignalYour source can transmit a user-defined power value to compatible power meters (such as FOT-600 and FPM-600) through the fiber If the reference source is far from the power meter you can connect your source to the power meter to send the reference value With this feature you can also correct for power variations

Note If you connect a fiber between FOT-600rsquos source and detector ports the unit can use the actual source output power as reference power

Note For details about how compatible power meters receive this power value see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not (and will not affect) the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To define the source power value to use as reference1 From normal operating mode press repeatedly until you reach SRC

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PREF menu

3 Press to switch between available source wavelengths and select one The unit displays the currently defined power value for this wavelength

ActivatingDeactivating a Light Source or VFLOnly one source may be active at a time When no source is active the unit displays OFF

To activate a light source (or VFL) and change the wavelengthPress to activate each available source in turn including the VFL The unit displays the wavelength and modulation

To deactivate the light sourcePress until you get past the last source

Modulating the Source SignalWhen you activate the first source (after turning on the unit) the signal is always CW (unmodulated) When you switch sources the modulation remains the same (VFL remembers its own modulation) Modulation is indicated in the top left (port 1) or top right (port 2) corner

Available modulation values are CW Auto auto-switching mode 270 Hz 1 kHz and 2 kHz (VFL CW and 1 Hz only)

Note Auto is a modulated signal detected by compatible units (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17) It provides longer battery life than CW but covers a reduced power range

Note Auto-switching mode is a special signal detected by compatible units (see Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21)

To change the signal modulation1 Activate the source

2 Press to switch between available modulations

Using a Light Source (FLS-600 and FOT-600) or VFL 21

Using Auto-Switching ModeIn auto-switching mode your source automatically switches from one wavelength to another When connected to the light source a compatible power meter displays the power value for each wavelength one at a time The wavelength value appearing on the display changes every two seconds

The unit will show the sources favorite wavelengths one at a time (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 19)

To activate auto-switching mode1 Press to activate the source

2 Press to switch between available modulations until the Auto indicator blinks on your display

Sending Source Power Value with SignalYour source can transmit a user-defined power value to compatible power meters (such as FOT-600 and FPM-600) through the fiber If the reference source is far from the power meter you can connect your source to the power meter to send the reference value With this feature you can also correct for power variations

Note If you connect a fiber between FOT-600rsquos source and detector ports the unit can use the actual source output power as reference power

Note For details about how compatible power meters receive this power value see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not (and will not affect) the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To define the source power value to use as reference1 From normal operating mode press repeatedly until you reach SRC

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PREF menu

3 Press to switch between available source wavelengths and select one The unit displays the currently defined power value for this wavelength

Using a Light Source (FLS-600 and FOT-600) or VFL 21

Using Auto-Switching ModeIn auto-switching mode your source automatically switches from one wavelength to another When connected to the light source a compatible power meter displays the power value for each wavelength one at a time The wavelength value appearing on the display changes every two seconds

The unit will show the sources favorite wavelengths one at a time (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 19)

To activate auto-switching mode1 Press to activate the source

2 Press to switch between available modulations until the Auto indicator blinks on your display

Sending Source Power Value with SignalYour source can transmit a user-defined power value to compatible power meters (such as FOT-600 and FPM-600) through the fiber If the reference source is far from the power meter you can connect your source to the power meter to send the reference value With this feature you can also correct for power variations

Note If you connect a fiber between FOT-600rsquos source and detector ports the unit can use the actual source output power as reference power

Note For details about how compatible power meters receive this power value see Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source on page 13

IMPORTANTThe value sent is not (and will not affect) the sourcersquos actual power It is a user-defined value that may not take the optical linkrsquos loss into account

To define the source power value to use as reference1 From normal operating mode press repeatedly until you reach SRC

2 Press to access the first submenu then press repeatedly until you reach the PREF menu

3 Press to switch between available source wavelengths and select one The unit displays the currently defined power value for this wavelength

4 Edit the power value as follows

4a Hold down for a few seconds The first digit of the power value blinks

4b Revert all digits to 0 by holding down for a few seconds

ANDOR

Select a digit to change by pressing until it blinks then increase its value by pressing (it returns to 0 after 9) After the last digit all digits blink you may addremove the ldquondashrdquo sign by pressing

4c While a digit blinks hold down for a few seconds to save the modified value (it remains in memory even when you turn off the unit) or press to return to the previous value without saving

5 Press twice to exit setup menus

To use the sourcersquos actual output power as reference (FOT-600 only)1 Connect a fiber between the source and power meter of same unit

2 Activate the source at the desired wavelength

3 Match the source and power meter wavelengths

If the source emits an auto-wavelength signal or is in auto-switching mode (see Automatically Detecting Wavelength on page 17 and Using Auto-Switching Mode on page 21) the power meter automatically matches the source wavelength

OR

Press to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 12)

4 From normal operating mode hold down and The unit displays PREF for a few seconds while saving the value then returns to normal mode

To send the source power value1 Activate the source

2 Change the modulation signal to AUTO or auto-switching

If you use auto-switching mode the power value of each wavelength will automatically be sent

3 Hold down and to send the power value with an auto-wavelength signal The unit displays Send for a few seconds then returns to normal mode

6 Clean the ferrule in the connector port as follows

6a Deposit one drop of isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free wiping cloth

6b Gently wipe the connector and ferrule

6c With a dry lint-free wiping cloth gently wipe the same surfaces to ensure that the connector and ferrule are perfectly dry

6d Verify connector surface with a portable fiber-optic microscope (for example EXFOrsquos FOMS) or fiberinspection probe (for example EXFOrsquos FIP)

7 Put the EUI back onto the instrument (push and turn clockwise)

8 Throw out cleaning tips and wiping cloths after one use

IMPORTANTSince isopropyl alcohol is not absolutely pure it may leave residues if used abundantly or left to evaporate (about 10 seconds)

Avoid contact between the tip of the bottle and the wiping cloth dry the surface quickly and use a bottle that distributes only a drop of alcohol at a time

WARNINGVerifying the surface of the connector WHILE THE UNIT IS ACTIVE WILL result in permanent eye damage

Cleaning Detector PortsRegular cleaning of detectors will help maintain measurement accuracy

To clean detector ports1 Remove the protective cap and adapter (FOA) from the detector

2 If the detector is dusty blow dry with compressed air

3 Being careful not to touch the soft end of the swab moisten a cleaning tip with only one drop of isopropyl alcohol

4 While applying light pressure (to avoid breaking the detector window) gently rotate the cleaning tip on the detector window

5 Repeat step 4 with a dry cleaning tip or blow dry with compressed air

6 Discard the cleaning tips after one use

Recharging the BatteryThe Li-Ion battery will last about 70 hours (power meter) or 50 hours (source in Auto mode) in normal operation The charge status is shown on the unit display (lower left corner)

To recharge the Li-Ion batteryConnect the unit to a power outlet (or car outlet) using the AC adaptercharger The charge cycle will start and end automatically

Note While charging the battery indicator animates continuously It does not reflect the actual charge status until charging is complete

IMPORTANTAlways cover detectors with protective caps when unit is not in use

IMPORTANTAlcohol may leave traces if used abundantly Do not use bottles that distribute too much alcohol at a time

IMPORTANTThe battery is not charged at the factory Fully charge it (about 4 hours) before using it for the first time

Cleaning EUI ConnectorsRegular cleaning of EUI connectors will help maintain optimum performance There is no need to disassemble the unit

To clean EUI connectors1 Remove the EUI from the instrument to expose the connector baseplate and

ferrule

2 Moisten a 25 mm cleaning tip with one drop of isopropyl alcohol (alcohol may leave traces if used abundantly)

3 Slowly insert the cleaning tip into the EUI adapter until it comes out on the other side (a slow clockwise rotating movement may help)

4 Gently turn the cleaning tip one full turn then continue to turn as you withdraw it

IMPORTANTIf any damage occurs to internal connectors the module casing will have to be opened and a new calibration will be required

Push

Turn

Pull

Maintenance 29

5 Repeat steps 3 to 4 with a dry cleaning tip

Note Make sure you donrsquot touch the soft end of the cleaning tip

6 Clean the ferrule in the connector port as follows

6a Deposit one drop of isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free wiping cloth

6b Gently wipe the connector and ferrule

6c With a dry lint-free wiping cloth gently wipe the same surfaces to ensure that the connector and ferrule are perfectly dry

6d Verify connector surface with a portable fiber-optic microscope (for example EXFOrsquos FOMS) or fiberinspection probe (for example EXFOrsquos FIP)

7 Put the EUI back onto the instrument (push and turn clockwise)

8 Throw out cleaning tips and wiping cloths after one use

IMPORTANTSince isopropyl alcohol is not absolutely pure it may leave residues if used abundantly or left to evaporate (about 10 seconds)

Avoid contact between the tip of the bottle and the wiping cloth dry the surface quickly and use a bottle that distributes only a drop of alcohol at a time

WARNINGVerifying the surface of the connector WHILE THE UNIT IS ACTIVE WILL result in permanent eye damage

Cleaning Detector PortsRegular cleaning of detectors will help maintain measurement accuracy

To clean detector ports1 Remove the protective cap and adapter (FOA) from the detector

2 If the detector is dusty blow dry with compressed air

3 Being careful not to touch the soft end of the swab moisten a cleaning tip with only one drop of isopropyl alcohol

4 While applying light pressure (to avoid breaking the detector window) gently rotate the cleaning tip on the detector window

5 Repeat step 4 with a dry cleaning tip or blow dry with compressed air

6 Discard the cleaning tips after one use

Recharging the BatteryThe Li-Ion battery will last about 70 hours (power meter) or 50 hours (source in Auto mode) in normal operation The charge status is shown on the unit display (lower left corner)

To recharge the Li-Ion batteryConnect the unit to a power outlet (or car outlet) using the AC adaptercharger The charge cycle will start and end automatically

Note While charging the battery indicator animates continuously It does not reflect the actual charge status until charging is complete

IMPORTANTAlways cover detectors with protective caps when unit is not in use

IMPORTANTAlcohol may leave traces if used abundantly Do not use bottles that distribute too much alcohol at a time

IMPORTANTThe battery is not charged at the factory Fully charge it (about 4 hours) before using it for the first time

The battery functions and charges properly between 0 oC and 45 oC (32 oF and 113 oF) It will not charge if the temperature is below -10 oC (14 oF) or above 45 oC (113 oF)

Never store battery at temperatures above 60 oC (140 oF)

Charge only with specified charger

Maintenance 31

Replacing BatteryYour unit requires one Li-Ion battery

To replace the battery1 Turn off the unit (if the AC adapter is plugged in you may replace the battery

while unit is on)

2 Open the battery compartment door located at the back of the unit

3 Replace the battery respecting the polarity

4 Close the battery compartment door

Recalibrating the UnitManufacturing and service center calibrations are based on the ISOIEC 17025 Standard which states that calibration documents must not contain a recommended calibration interval unless this has been previously agreed upon with the customer

Validity of specifications depends on operating conditions For example the calibration validity period can be longer or shorter depending on the intensity of use environmental conditions and unit maintenance You should determine the adequate calibration interval for your unit according to your accuracy requirements

Under normal use EXFO recommends calibrating your unit every three years

Note The FlexCare warranty program includes CalibrationVerification packages (see Service and Repairs on page 39)

To view the last calibration date (FOT-600 and FPM-600 only)1 From normal operating mode hold down and

for a few seconds The unit displays the first embedded software version

2 Press until you reach the calibration date (and version) of the power meter

3 Press to return to normal mode

WARNINGDo not throw batteries into fire or water and do not short-circuit the batteriesrsquo electrical contacts Do not disassemble

Recalibrating the UnitManufacturing and service center calibrations are based on the ISOIEC 17025 Standard which states that calibration documents must not contain a recommended calibration interval unless this has been previously agreed upon with the customer

Validity of specifications depends on operating conditions For example the calibration validity period can be longer or shorter depending on the intensity of use environmental conditions and unit maintenance You should determine the adequate calibration interval for your unit according to your accuracy requirements

Under normal use EXFO recommends calibrating your unit every three years

Note The FlexCare warranty program includes CalibrationVerification packages (see Service and Repairs on page 39)

To view the last calibration date (FOT-600 and FPM-600 only)1 From normal operating mode hold down and

for a few seconds The unit displays the first embedded software version

2 Press until you reach the calibration date (and version) of the power meter

3 Press to return to normal mode

Cleaning Detector PortsRegular cleaning of detectors will help maintain measurement accuracy

To clean detector ports1 Remove the protective cap and adapter (FOA) from the detector

2 If the detector is dusty blow dry with compressed air

3 Being careful not to touch the soft end of the swab moisten a cleaning tip with only one drop of isopropyl alcohol

4 While applying light pressure (to avoid breaking the detector window) gently rotate the cleaning tip on the detector window

5 Repeat step 4 with a dry cleaning tip or blow dry with compressed air

6 Discard the cleaning tips after one use
